To install the patch carry out the following steps:

• Ensure that you are currently using RVCT 4.0. To do this, type:

  armcc --vsn

  and ensure that this returns RVCT 4.0 build 400 or later.
  
• Extract all the files from the ZIP file into a temporary directory.
• Copy the include directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing include directory. The existing directory can be located by the RVCT40INCenvironment variable, e.g:

  > echo $RVCT40INC
  ~/ARM/RVCT/Data/4.0/400/include/

• Copy the lib directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing lib directory. The existing directory can be located by the RVCT40LIB environment variable, e.g.:

  > echo $RVCT40LIB
  ~/ARM/RVCT/Data/4.0/400/lib/

• Copy the linux-pentium directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing linux-pentium directory. The existing directory can be located by the RVCT40BINenvironment variable, e.g.:

  > echo $RVCT40BIN
  ~/ARM/RVCT/Programs/4.0/400/linux-pentium/

• The updated tools should now have been installed. To confirm this, open a DOS command prompt window and enter:

  armcc --vsn
  armlink --vsn
  armasm --vsn
  fromelf --vsn
  armar --vsn

  The version returned should be RVCT 4.0 build 870.
  
• After unzipping the executables, you may find that they cannot be executed because the UNIX permissions have been reset. The workaround is to set the execute permissions for the user with, e.g.:

  chmod u+x armcc
